Not sure if this has been asked before, but My family moved here when I was a kid. With a population of 5,734, Finley is a small town. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Am I wrong here? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

As someone who grew up here, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. A lot has changed in the past few years though. nightlife used to be much competitive but now it's surprisingly good.

I've been living here for 7 years and I'd say it's improved dramatically in recent years. The job market is excellent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I've lived in Westside for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good internet infrastructure
- The cost of living scene is improving
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Road conditions need improvement
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. Happy to answer more specific questions..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want walkability, then yeah this place is great. But if cost of living matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
